UPDATE: The extreme cold warning has ended.

---

Extreme cold is on the way for all of Southern Manitoba tonight, including the Parkland. Environment Canada has issued extreme cold warnings across the southern half of the province.

Temperatures in the Dauphin area will be dropping down to -37 tonight, with windchills dipping to -52 overnight. Conditions are expected to improve tomorrow afternoon as relatively warmer air begins to move into the southern prairies.

Watch for cold-related symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness, numbness, and colour change in fingers and toes. Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.

Remember, if it's too cold for you to stay outside, it's also too cold for your pet, so make sure you aren't leaving them out in the cold.
